Once again I still don’t understand the love for Tim banks.

Many Tennessee fans don't have it.

 

[farmdogvol]

Unfortunately we decided to get Morris in the game during the possession we could’ve ended it and proceeded to go 3 and out.

It was to early for that.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

You better believe Tennessee needs to score here. We're probably not stopping Syracuse from scoring the rest of the game.

huepel letting them back into the game

Heupel isn’t missing tackles and getting blown off the line.

 

[Godfatha]

Went into the shell too early. Game should have been put away in the third

 

[VolGirl81]

As good as we looked in 1st half we have looked equally if not worse the second half. What a sh$$ show.

Heup completely changed the game plan and it shows.

 

[BleedOrange81]

or Willie

Willie is god awful but friends with heup…

 

[patrick]

Time to crank up the offense Heupel.

Nope.

 

[BruiserVol]

The committee says has you beat teams matter when trying to get into the playoffs right . Never should have let off the gas in the 3rd Q

This is exactly why I’m so frustrated at us seemingly just going into a maintain the lead mode with 8:30 left in the 3rd quarter. The committee absolutely looks at how bad teams have beaten others when making decisions. This game was looking to turn into a stomping and we are happy with just squeaking one out. If we even do. There’s a whole lot of ball left to play.

Miss St game is starting to worry me

Southern Miss is among the worst teams in D1.

You put those guys in on the last drive..

 

[KeyVol14]

We are gassed on D. Syracuse is manhandling us at the LOS. I have not been impressed with our D all day.

4 sacks, fumble returned for TD, and INT. We spotted them 7 points on offense

 

[DaddyChad]

One more TD pretty much ices this. Just need the offense to come out and impose their will. You have to learn to do that versus teams like this anyways.

 

[GoVols64]

I thought I was being aggressive with give Cuse 17 on my name the score pick….. This is pathetic. Getting destroyed at the line of scrimmage

 

[Sarms58]

Time for a nice, time eating, march down the field kind of drive.

Oh hell, lets just run the kickoff back for a TD

 

[vol94]

Must score. TN looks dejected on sideline.

The Cuse are amped up.
Here’s a shot of the offensive line

 

[Powder and shot]

Murky dismal Vols!

 

[Go47]

You better believe Tennessee needs to score here. We're probably not stopping Syracuse from scoring the rest of the game.

They are guaranteed 4-6 yards if they run it.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Yea 2.5 yards per rush is really shredding us

103 yards and 3 rushing scores, when they get in red zone, defense cannot stop them

 

[G0V0LS33]

We go 3 and out this drive and we very well may lose this game. This defense is in bad shape.

 

[VolBricks]

Which team looks tired On defense

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Hats off to Syracuse's staff. They have taken Banks and Heupel to school this half.

I'm honestly impressed with Syracuse. They've brought a hell of a lot more physicality to this game than we have!

 

[molsen81]

Heupel thinks he’s Fulmer

 

[Vtonerider]

Pathetic crowd

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Texas loses

Texas toast.
